Smart近日宣布计划将进一步扩大车型阵容,无论是ForTwo还是ForFour都将增加新成员。Smart CEO 温克勒(Annette Winkler)近日表示，Smart家族将进一步扩大，其中ForTwo将增加敞篷版，电动版，巴博斯高性能版，而ForFour新增的敞篷版并非是一辆真正意义上的敞篷车，它采用类似菲亚特500C的折叠织物软顶。车厂还将针对中国和美国市场推出ForFour长轴距版。这款车很可能会被命名为“ForMore”，车厂最近刚刚注册了这个车名。另外，为了能与雷诺Captur和日产Juke争夺市场，车厂还计划推出跨界车，目前还不清楚该车细节。不过即便该车获得批准，也不会很快面世，车厂的当务之急是首先推出敞篷、电动和巴博斯版本。戴姆勒CEO蔡澈近日承认，如果Smart不与雷诺共享部件，2015款ForTwo和ForFour就不能按计划发布，Smart如果完全单独开发新车所有部件成本太高，不划算。

 

Smart ForTwo cabrio, electric and Brabus confirmed, ForFour Cabrio planned

Smart has announced plans to add several derivatives of the new ForTwo in the years to come.

 

Last week we heard Smart CEO Annette Winkler saying there aren't any plans to resurrect the roadster but the lineup will indeed grow with additional versions such as a ForTwo Carbio, ForTwo EV, a Brabus ForTwo as well as a ForFour Cabrio which won't be a true cabriolet as it will have a retractable fabric roof like the Fiat 500C.

 

There are also talks about a stretched ForFour which would be destined primarily to United States and China. Chances are the longer ForFour will be sold with the "ForMore" moniker since the company recently registered this nameplate.

 

Another possible candidate for the growing Smart lineup is a small crossover to compete with the Renault Captur and Nissan Juke but details are not available at this point. Even if these rumored additions to the Smart family will be green-lighted, don't expect them in the near future as the range will be initially expanded with the already confirmed cabrio, EV and Brabus versions.

 

On a related note, Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche admitted that if it weren't for the agreement with Renault to share parts, the 2015 Smart ForTwo & ForFour would not have seen the light of day since the new Smart range wasn't really a feasible standalone business case.
